MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
So I've ordered a pair a the super cheap £5 on-one pannier bags, but need to get a rack! I've got a 2015 Salsa Fargo with alternator drop outs, the Salsa Wunderlust rack is just so much, £80!
So what have another people used?
Cheers, Chris
I've had a Tubus Cosmo rack for 9 years. Not cheap(was £120 at the time) but it's lasted- been on 4 different bikes and completed 3 long international tours. Also use it for commuting/shopping. Came with spacers to clear complicated dropout designs, also sits quite a way back for good heel clearance. They can be scored for £60ish now which makes them a bargain.
I have a sense that the alternator dropouts [i]might[/i] narrow your options down a bit - I don't think they are super easy to use with 'normal' racks (like the Wunderlust).
Don't hold me to that tho' - I've got a Vaya, so it's not come up directly, but I think I've read something on the Salsa site that makes me think it's been an 'issue' for people.
😕
Look on RoseBikes they sell Tubus racks really cheap. Just watch out for tyre clearance if you run 2.3 ish tyres
